Hace poco hablábamos de lenguaje corporal. Queen tiene un tema llamado "Body Language", en el que su autor, Freddy Mercury, dice:
You got red lips snakes in your eyes
Long legs great thighs
You got the cutest ass I've ever seen
Knock me down for a six any time.
Esta última frase no se relaciona con el lenguaje corporal.
Dice en The Free dictionary:
knock somebody for
six (British & Australian informal) "to surprise and upset someone a lot".
It really knocked me for six when my ex-boyfriend announced he was getting married.
It really knocked me for six when my ex-boyfriend announced he was getting married.
Pero encontré una explicación más completa en el Urban dictionary, donde decía que knocked for six es estar completamente devastado, y la expresión proviene del juego de cricket, donde seis es la más alta puntuación en cierta jugada (que no entendí, claro).
I was knocked for six after my husband left me. / My car was knocked for six after I rammed it into a wall.
I was knocked for six after my husband left me. / My car was knocked for six after I rammed it into a wall.
